I updated my copy of the CVS of BibleTime a few minutes ago, and I still
have the problem that I referred to in my original message on this
subject.

Yes, I still have KDE 3.0.3, and I consider it a pleasure to "loan you
my boat" as it were, to help you :)
I followed your instructions a couple of times just to make sure I
didn't misunderstand what you wanted me to do, with the following
result:

The windows tiled fine, then I chose to save them as a new session from
the menu, entered a name, and clicked ok.  Up to this point things seem
to be going smoothly.  Then I closed all and attempted to load the saved
session from the menu.  This is where the problem lies :(  When I place
my cursor on "Load Session", there are no sessions there to load.  There
is a little rectangular box where I assume any saved sessions are
supposed to be listed, but it's empty.

As far as everything in your instructions AFTER "Load the saved session
from the menu.....", of course I couldn't check that, because I couldn't
reload the sessions that I thought I had saved.

If I got confused (I don't think I did, but I'll let you be the judge),
feel free to contact me again with further instructions, and I will be
glad to be of service :)  I'm on vacation until next Saturday, so
chances are that it won't be long before I respond to any requests you
may have of me :)

Well, I need to run a few errands, and do a little work around the
house, so I must be going.  Hopefully, my cd's of Slackware 8.1 will
arrive soon :)  I'm sure they'll arrive before I have to go back to work
:)

Have a Great Day :)

P.S.: Please see Luke 5:1-11 to clarify what I meant about "loaning you
my boad"  Of course, in this case, the "boat" is me, and my computer :) 
I expect the results will be the same for me as they were for Peter :)
